Counselling in Maidstone

Choosing a Counsellor can be very difficult and I feel that it is important to have some knowledge of your chosen therapist's working methods. I adopt more than one theoretical approach when working with my clients but predominately incorporate Person Centered which is a non judgemental, non authorative approach which gives an individual a safe environment to talk freely, and adjust negative self concepts often triggered by negative life events or relationships. Also Cognitive Behavioural techniques which involve identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking which often maintain feelings of anxiety, depression and low self esteem.

I am well aware that at times life can be difficult; you may feel anxious, over-whelmed, worried or just not right. Or you may feel that your past experiences are having an impact on how you deal with things in your life today. Talking with me could help you in a different way than talking to a friend of family member and this is primarily because you can be honest with me without me judging you.  I'm here to listen to you and to support you in working things out for yourself. My approach is open, honest and down-to-earth and I am a firm believer in the counselling process and the good that it can do. 

Life can be complicated and confusing, we can sometimes feel stuck, stressed out, anxious, depressed or just exhausted with it all. Trying to find your path out, away from negative feelings and thoughts may seem like a monumental struggle. Would you like someone to help you find your way forward? would you like somebody to help you make sense of these thoughts and feelings? I can provide you with a safe space where we can explore these feelings together. My aim is to support clients to find positive methods of coping and gain understanding to enable them to move forward with their lives.

Welcome. Sometimes life presents challenges and the turbulence of these can be overwhelming and may impact negatively on our mental health and emotional well-being. Psychotherapy and counselling offer a safe space to explore your experiences of these difficulties. Seeking help from a professional may be the next step and psychotherapy or counselling gives you the opportunity to look at your life, your problems and concerns. I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with over 30 years experience. In my private practice I work with adults experiencing all aspects of mental ill health concerns, relationship and life issues.

Are you feeling worried, stuck, or held back by something that happened in the past? Maybe you feel inadequate in some way, or self conscious.

It's surprising what can be achieved by simply devoting time to talking about your problems with someone who is trained to help you reflect.

Sometimes life can feel difficult and we may feel confused, lost or alone, even if we are surrounded by others. At times, we may struggle to cope, feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed. Being offered support to explore our difficulties and worries in a safe, confidential and empathic environment, free from judgement can help us feel less isolated and find our way again to a more hopeful and fulfilling way of being. I believe that the roots of our personal strengths often stem from difficulties we have experienced and that together, we can find what might be most helpful to you.

Have You... Reached that point in your life when you feel you might benefit from someone listening to what’s going on for you right now? Someone that’s impartial, someone with no agenda and who is there for you. If so, therapy or life coaching may be the answer. From time to time… We all reach a point in our lives when we feel we can’t cope, the road ahead doesn’t look so clear, our problems seem overwhelming, we've lost our MOJO and no one seems to understand and people just don’t have the time to listen...

A lot of people carry deep hurts and unhealthy emotions from the past that can have a hugely detrimental affect on our current day behaviour, our relationships and our life in general. These hurts could include traumas, bereavement, loss, the breakdown of a relationship, abuse etc. These hurts could go back as far as childhood. But whenever and however the hurt happened, the result is often the same - unhealthy coping strategies as a way of dealing with our unmet emotional needs. More often than not, these defence mechanisms or coping strategies have kept you stuck in the same repetitive cycle, maybe even years.
